The Bridge at jeff. City.

From the Aurora springs messenger
We believe the bridge over the
"Big Muddy" at jefferson City will
be built at an early day. The bridge
there is badly needed and would
prove, if made a railway and wagon
bridge, of incalculable benefit to JEFF
ferson City and the country general
ly south of the capital. There is
scarcely room for doubt that the bill
for a charter will pass Congress. 1t
would serve to open up to the people
of the rich kingdom of Galloway" a
mucs, better market and egress to the
world outside Good rock roads
would be built to and from either
end Of the bridge. thereby enlivening
and giving al impetus to trade and
to general travel northward and
southwark over the thoroughfare.
Again. the Chicago & Alton railroad
company, strong corporation, has a
branch road, so miles in length, ex-
tendirg from the river opposite JEFF
ferson City to their main line at Mex
leo. This company now uses The
ferry for transportation at the river
With the completion of the bridge
the C. & A. Co. would extend its
operations south of the Missouri
river. This company has already
succeeded in getting control of ant
consolidating short lines of road IL
Kansas, pointing toward our State
capital. We believe the C. & A. t.
be the power behind the jeff. CITY
Il Girard, Kansas, road, recently pro
posed. At any rate we want to se'
the capital bridge constructed, be
lleving as we do that it will insur'
greatly to the prosperity Of this por
ton of Missouri in the near future.

EIoHl tHe JEFFERSON City Tribune,
The speech of General Mcintyre
yesterday On the capital removal re-
solution was one OF the ablest ever
delivered in the house. 1t was a
serious and candid presentation of all
the objections to Mr.. Urawford's re-
solution. Coming from a man vino
had been racked with pain for more
than a month. and whose emaciated
features and handseed face told of
the inte"5est suffering this speech
was reInerkal,!e deliyerance. Begin.
ming in low and subdued tone. hi.
voice swelled till it filed the hall and
resounded th.ousn the room. Every
sentence was clear cut and incisive
| Every statement bore conviction
every legal phase of the subject was
made plain and every salient poin
at issue was handled in a masterl,
way. For more than an hour thi.
remarkable address was continued
and at Its conclusion there was NJ
longer a doubt of capital removal
1t will long be remembered as
strikingly impressive and eloquent ef
fort.

Too late, Halstead, too late. All
that we can hope to do is to keep the

to the Southern soldier, he can say
to you, touching the charity you now
suggest, as old Sam Johnson said to
the Earl of Chesterfield touching bis
patronage, only little paraphrased I:
Twenty years, my Lord, have now
passed since 1 waited in your out
ward rooms, or was repulsed from
your door; during which time have
been getting on the best can, and
pushing the work of my life through
difficulties of which it is useless to
complain, and have got on my feet
again without one penny of favor OF
one smile from you. The suggestion
you are pleased to make, had it been
early, had been kind but it has beer
delayed until I am Indifferent and
can not enjoy it, till l am independ

no very cynical asperity, Mr.. Hal

at the same time, to decline to owe
that to the generosity of the Govern
